So, I‘ve been pretty abysmal at #WinterGames so far, and a horrible #SnowflakeSquad teammate. But I have been reading, and have finished 5 books so far this month (which is pretty good for me).
I‘m also watching Big Brother Reindeer Games (which is *technically* based on 1984).
So, as of now, I‘m up to a pathetic 88 points, but now that I‘m off work, I‘ll try to be better about contributing.

4-9-23: My 38th finished book of 2023! I went into this expecting scary or at least spooky because I watched the Netflix show first. It was neither of this things. Ilonka and her friends are living in a hospice for sick teens. They are all going to die so to pass the time they meet at midnight to tell stories. They hope that once one has died that person can reach out to give a sign that it isn‘t over when you go. Sad yet somehow comforting.

I unintentionally saw the show first so I knew what I was getting into with this one. But honestly, I preferred the show, there was a bit more spook too it - which I kind of expected from a Pike novel?💁🏻‍♀️

But it was also quite moving and heartbreaking💔

Going through things at my father's house, while both physically and emotionally exhausting, has also turned up some childhood gems. I thought the last of my old Christopher Pike books had been destroyed in a basement flood incident, but it turns out they were stored up high! I'm so tickled to revisit this old favorite, among others.

#reread #childhoodfavorite

Dragon There‘s a Netflix series that I think is based on this and other Christopher Pike books. 💚🐉 2y
SpeculativeFemale Yeah, I watched it, and enjoyed it, but it takes a LOT of liberties. Still fun, but in an entirely different way. 2y

Read entirely over one sleepless night, I didn‘t enjoy this one. I wanted YA horror and this was more Paulo Coelho / meaning of life. No horror at all.

So here‘s the thing, I loved Pike as a kid,I have such great memories of some of his books. This isn‘t one of them. I have vague memories, but this one didn‘t make the impression on me that Whisper of Death, Chain Letter or Remember Me did. With that said it didn‘t blow me away now, which does kind of make sense.

I've been busy, digging up my copies of Christopher Pike books and ordering used copies of what I don't have (although hopefully more of his books will get republished, I know a few have been released as ebooks because of the show). So in 2023 I'm hosting a #Pikeathon Reading Challenge. I'll host discussions as I read (I'm probably not going to read the Spooksville books, but I might), and do random giveaways to participants who tag me ⬇

MidnightBookGirl in reviews. I personally plan on re-reading the books in order of publication year, but there are no rules to that. Comment below with what level you might aim for!

Participation Levels:

Slumber Party
Read 1-3 Pike books

Chain Letter
Read 3-8 Pike Books

The Star Group
Read 8-15 Pike books

Spellbound
Read 15-25 Pike Books

Fall Into Darkness
Read 25-35 Pike books

The Midnight Club
Read 36 plus

The Last Vampire
Read them all!

Finished up my watch of The Midnight Club and really enjoyed it! I read the book when I was a kid so I don‘t really remember much, however I found it not only pretty spooky but surprisingly touching. Mike Flanagan does it again! Also watched 2 more episodes of Ghosts, which I love! +111 points for #teamslaughter #scarathlon2022

Readergrrl I love Ghosts too!!! 2y
candc320 @Readergrrl isn‘t it the best?! I love the British version most but the American version is funny too. 2y

JamieArc I recently finished Midnight Club and it wasn‘t spooky at all, so I‘m so curious what the Netflix adaptation is like! 2y
candc320 @Readergrrl yes!!! There are 3 seasons I think? I watched them on HBO a while ago so they might still be on there! 2y
candc320 @JamieArc the show definitely had some jump scares and spookiness going on….I hope you like it! 2y
jlhammar @Readergrrl Agree with @candc320 - love the original BBC Ghosts. You are in for a treat! We still watch and enjoy the American version though. (edited) 2y

First I will say that I really liked this book. I loved the premise, and the stories told by characters kept me turning the pages. And now I rant: I do not understand the marketing of this book. The only thing scary about it is facing one‘s own mortality. It is not horror, or thriller, so if you want to read a spooky book, or revisit Pike‘s 90s thrillers, this one is not it. Lastly, I‘m pretty bothered by the image on the cover (cont. 🔽)

JamieArc One of the characters is in a wheelchair with an amputated leg, so to not portray that on the cover feels pretty gross. 2y
JamieArc Rant done. Overall, do read this! I‘m much more apt to watch the series now that I know it‘s not horror. #Booked2022 Adapted for the small screen. @Cinfhen @alisiakae @BarbaraBB (edited) 2y
MoonWitch94 I read this in the 90s, don‘t remember much of it. Have you watched any of the Netflix show? I‘m halfway through & do not remember any of it from the book. I was wondering if it closely followed the book or not? Maybe my young teen mind didn‘t remember it well. 2y
JamieArc @MoonWitch94 I haven‘t watched the show yet, so I‘m curious how much it follows the book. I‘ve heard the show is spooky, and if so, I imagine it departs from the books quite a bit. 2y
MoonWitch94 It‘s equal parts devastatingly sad AND spooky. I had to take a break; but it‘s excellent, just very sad ((as death of young people very much is)). 2y

I finished this series. It was very good. It is a YA horror show (so not extremely gory) however it has some very serious topics as it is about a group of teens in hospice. So know that going in.
7! Episodes yesterday.

I picked up these Christopher Pike novels at a library sale years ago because I remembered loving his books when I was in Jr. High! I‘ve let them languish on my TBR shelves, but now that there‘s an adaptation of The Midnight Club, I might finally read them! But I‘ll probably watch the show first, lol.

Soubhiville I used to devour these as a kid! Enjoy. 2y

Watched the last 7 episodes of this fantastic spooky(and very very sad)Tv series about a group of terminal teens living in a spooky hospice who every midnight, gather in the library to tell scary stories. Until weird stuff starts to happen that forces them to come to terms with dying. I jumped a lot but I also cried. A lot. #Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter 36pts

Moony Sounds good! Is it a netflix or Prime tv-series? 2y

Watched 3episodes of The Midnight Club so far tonight, probably gonna watch more, it‘s kind of addicting. It‘s about a group of terminally ill kids in a spooky hospice who every night at midnight get together and tell scary stories to help deal with what they‘re going through. But there may be something else in the house watching & listening to them. #Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter 16pts

It‘s my favorite reading month! With #DeweysReadathon later this month, my TBR is full of seasonal, atmospheric reads. I particularly like to include some middle grade reads that are quick to get through. Hoping to read the tagged book before the Netflix adaptation comes out, and as a #Booked2022 prompt. #Bookspin

I love Christopher Pike, and years ago, my friend Court and I started a book club that I named the Midnight Book Club after Pike's book The Midnight Club. When I moved back to Virginia, I decided to start a book blog, and used Midnight Book Girl (and started a new version of The Midnight Book Club here in VA). So I've been Midnight Book Girl (or MidnghtBookGirl bc Twitter) ever since!

I wanted to reread this book before the Netflix show. I read it in high school and I don't remember it being sad, but man, it was a bummer! I liked it, but the blurb had nothing to do with the actual story, so I was surprised by the plot.

Not my favorite by him but I thought I'd share. I would have rather seen his "Last Vampire" series or his "Remember Me" trilogy adapted instead. Just hope it's better than part one of the Fear Street Netflix series. That was pretty bad. ?

On my #bookquilt because my book club is the beating heart of my bookish being (and both my social media name and book club name was inspired for my love of Pike). She surprised me by adding the cat and books that are the symbol of our club, which made me happy and weepy.

This showed up in my TimeHop. So my social media name, book blog and my book club were all inspired by this book (Pike is one of my favorite authors from childhood). When I had @Loriimagination design my blog, I also had her make a graphic for my book club with (and without) our rather sassy book club motto.
